Exclusive: The complete Windows Phone emoji list

Back in November, Windows Phone team blogger Michael Stroh teased users with some cheatsheets to many of the emoticons or emoji (Japanese) built right into the Windows Phone platform. He didn't share them all, though. Not content with waiting around for more blog posts, we decided to dig through the operating system, not stopping until we found the rare and beautiful emoji. And found them we did.

I rather have emoji keyboard to show the pictures instead trying to remember all characters that would be sweet but then the update would be years down the road the carriers would have to approve the update..er coming soon...just saying....

I'm pretty sure there's a Christmas tree... My cousin sent it to me this past Christmas and my phone displayed it. I copied and pasted it and sent it along with the gift emoji that's up there, but it showed up as the emoji, so I'm not sure how to make it.

I just finished an app (called Messaging Emoticons - still in certification phase) that lets you type and choose (and filter) emoticons, inserting them right into the textbox. I even found most of the non-announced emoticons, too.
Hopefully it'll be out soon, then I can release an update with the emoticons I missed.
